About LoyalPass®
LoyalPass® post-pay pump authorization solution stops lost revenue at the forecourt. Pinnacle’s LoyalPass solution specifically addresses the problem of customer drive-offs from not pre-paying for fuel at the dispenser. This anti-theft solution works by authorizing fuel customers to dispense fuel before going into the store to pay, gives retailers complete control over fuel theft while providing a superior fueling experience for customers. Customers with an active LoyalPass card can authorize a pump for post-payment, restoring the convenience of not having to go into the store multiple times. Those that do not post-pay for fuel will automatically have their LoyalPass card disabled from future use. In most cases, it is tied to the customer’s driver’s license, which allows retailers to recover any lost funds.
